Soy-Free Fava Bean Tofu, Medium Firm - 12 oz

At Big Mountain, we went looking for the bean that best supports the future of farming, and we found the fava. We think it might be the single best answer for generations to come. We only use real, nourishing, plant-based ingredients, the kind you can actually pronounce without being a molecular scientist. Nothing goes to waste, either: the by-product from our tofu goes into other Big Mountain favorites, like our Veggie Links.

This block is medium firm, so it holds together for cubing into a stir-fry, slicing for the pan or crumbling into a scramble. Keep it refrigerated and cook it before eating. Made in Canada.

Ingredients: FAVA BEANS, WATER, SEA SALT, CALCIUM SULPHATE.

Common Questions

Is there a tofu that isn't made from soy?
Yes. Our Big Mountain Soy-Free Tofu is made from fava beans instead of soybeans. Tofu is traditionally made by setting a bean milk with a coagulant, and calcium sulphate is one of the classic choices. We make our Soy-Free Tofu using traditional methods: ancient method, modern recipe. The whole ingredient list is fava beans, water, sea salt and calcium sulphate. It's medium firm and comes in a 12 oz (340 g) pack.

What tofu can I eat if I have a soy allergy?
Our Big Mountain Soy-Free Tofu is made with fava beans, and it is free from soybean, peanuts and tree nuts and their derivatives. It's free from common allergens. Soy is one of the major food allergens, and regular tofu is made from soy. Because ours is medium firm, it can go into the same stir-fries, scrambles and braises where you'd normally use soy tofu.

Which tofu has the most protein?
Our Big Mountain Soy-Free Tofu has 64g of protein per 12 oz pack, which is 95% more protein than leading soy tofu brands. With most tofu, protein goes up as firmness goes up, since firmer tofu holds less water. Ours gets its protein from fava beans and is still medium firm.

How firm is Big Mountain Soy-Free Tofu, and how should I cook it?
Big Mountain Soy-Free Tofu is medium firm. It isn't ready to eat, so cook it before you eat it, and keep it in the fridge until you do. Medium firm tofu is soft enough to crumble into a scramble and firm enough to hold together in cubes for pan-frying, soups and gentle braises.

Is Big Mountain Soy-Free Tofu vegan and dairy free?
Yes, Big Mountain Soy-Free Tofu is vegan, which means it contains no dairy or other animal ingredients. It is entirely plant-based: fava beans, water, sea salt and calcium sulphate. It is also non-GMO and declared glyphosate residue free.

Where do the fava beans in Big Mountain Soy-Free Tofu come from?
The fava beans in our Soy-Free Tofu are grown on women-owned farms that use regenerative farming practices, and the tofu is a product of Canada. We chose the fava bean by focusing on how best to support the future of farming. Across Big Mountain, the by-product from making tofu goes into our other foods, like our Veggie Links, so nothing is wasted.
